For the first time after the coup in Bangladesh, relief news has emerged for Sheikh Hasina’s party. News is coming that the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus has no intention of banning the Awami League party of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Brigadier General (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain, Home Advisor to the interim government of Bangladesh, said on Monday that the interim government running in the country has no intention of banning the Awami League party of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
According to media reports, Sakhawat Hussain said that the party has contributed a lot to Bangladesh. We cannot deny this, when elections are held he should contest the elections. He also apologized for failing to provide security to the minority Hindu community.
Apologized to Hindu community
Sakhawat said that we have instructed that it is the ultimate duty of the majority community to protect our minority brothers. If they do not do so and instead remain busy offering namaz in the mosque, then they will have to answer why they failed to provide security.
Instructions given to protesters to surrender
According to a media report, Brigadier General (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain, advisor on home affairs to the interim government of Bangladesh, on Monday asked protesters to surrender all illegal and unauthorized firearms, including rifles looted from law enforcers during the recent violence on August 19. Instructed to surrender till.
‘500 people died in violence’
According to a report in The Daily Star newspaper, Hussain said that if the weapons were not returned to the nearest police stations, officers would conduct searches and charges would be filed against anyone found in possession of unauthorized weapons. Hussain said that about 500 people, including students, were killed and several thousand others were injured during the protests.
“In the video, a youth was seen taking a 7.62 mm rifle. It means the rifle was not returned. If you did not hand over the weapon (due to fear), then hand over the weapon through someone else,” he said.
‘I do not support shutting down the media’
Hussain said they would investigate to identify the plainclothes youth who opened fire on the Ansar members. However, he softened yesterday’s comments about shutting down media outlets if they publish or broadcast false or misleading news.
He said, “I said this in anger. This is not my job. I never support shutting down any media.”
Last Thursday, Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus was sworn in as the head of the interim government in place of Hasina. A 16-member council of advisors was announced to assist Yunus in running the affairs of the state.
Let us tell you that after violent protests against her government over the controversial quota system in jobs, Sheikh Hasina resigned last week and left the country for India in turmoil.
